lgivaudan 22 Posted September 29, 2016 Hi Everyone! I'm new here but I'm scheduled for VSG on 10/26. I finished my supervised weight loss but I'm wondering if you have to weigh in at preop appt? I have a special event the night before and was hoping to be able to eat whatever I want for the last time ever ...(not the right mentality... I know!) Let me know your experience!

Armygalbonnie 643 Posted September 29, 2016 I will be weighed on surgery day. Also, I don't know about your preop diet, but many are on liquids only for a few to several days before surgery, to help shrink the liver and for a safer surgery. I definitely wouldn't take a chance. This is a good time for you to prove you can follow the program and do the right thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lgivaudan 22 Posted September 29, 2016 (edited) My preop appt is before my 2 week liquid diet starts and I would never cheat on that Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App Edited September 29, 2016 by lgivaudan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Armygalbonnie 643 Posted September 29, 2016 Oh (I misunderstood), in that case, I know I've heard of several people doing "food funerals". I think it would be ok to have a final farewell, as long as you don't think it will cause you to fall completely off the wagon. I know with me, sometimes I cheat and then I beat myself up over it so much that I feel like a failure. It's hard for me to get control again. I hope what ever decision you make, you are successful and your surgery goes well. Good luck with everything! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KristenLe 5,979 Posted September 29, 2016 @@lgivaudan I would assume they will weigh you at your pre-op appointment. I would suggest that you work on losing weight until the event and then if you do "indulge" it won't matter if you gain a few lbs (which will just be Water weight the next day). I wouldn't go on a bender - but I don't see anything wrong with enjoying the night. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
